Empower Your Team with Expert Fire Prevention and Response Skills
Fire safety training is required in most Thai workplaces, helping employees understand how to prevent fires, respond effectively during an emergency, and evacuate safely. Our Basic Firefighter Training Course provides employees with practical knowledge and hands-on skills to identify common fire hazards, recognise the early signs of a fire, operate fire extinguishers correctly, respond to a fire emergency, and follow safe evacuation procedures.
Our Fire Training course is developed in accordance with the relevant standards and requirements of the Thai Department of Labour Protection and Welfare (DLPW). Bangkok First Aid delivers this fire training course onsite at company workplaces in Bangkok and throughout Thailand, using a face-to-face learning format led by qualified instructors. This practical approach allows employees to learn and practise essential fire safety skills in an environment relevant to their actual workplace.
WHY COMPANIES SHOULD TAKE THIS FIRE TRAINING COURSE?
The Basic Firefighting course is a mandatory training that all enterprises and companies in Thailand must provide to their employees, in accordance with the Ministerial Regulations on the Standards in Administrating, Managing and Implementing the Occupational Safety, Health and Environment at Work regarding to the Fire Prevention and Extinguishment B.E. 2555 (2012).
Beyond meeting legal requirements, an effective fire training course helps organisations reduce fire risks, prevent disasters from escalating, protect property, and most importantly, save lives. By developing practical knowledge and hands-on experience, the training also gives employees greater confidence and readiness to act during a fire emergency, helping create a safer and more prepared workplace.
